A police car was involved in a crash after a dramatic high-speed chase in Cambridgeshire.

Officers on patrol spotted a car reportedly speeding at more than 60mph in Ramsey Road, Upwood and gave chase.

The vehicle was also allegedly overtaking dangerously putting other road users in peril.

But police had to give up the chase which had continued to the B1040 towards Bury because of the hazards and because the patrol vehicle was in collision with another car.

A police report said: “Police pursued a car spotted speeding at over 60mph down Ramsey Road, Upwood, and overtaking dangerously along the B1040 towards Bury, just before midday on Thursday (November 3).

“The chase was abandoned due to the danger of pursuing through the built-up area, and the police vehicle also being involved in a minor impact with another car, fortunately with no-one being injured.

“The suspect car was later found abandoned in Ramsey, seized and removed.”
